Before going to the Mont St-Michel last week-end I did a search on Pbase and found your gallery. I have highly appreciated your images but wondered how I was going to shoot because what I saw in your gallery was stunning. So I decided to take another approach and to take HDR pictures. Here is the result:http://www.pbase.com/luc_vn/saint_michel I hope you enjoy them as much as I did yours.
Kind Regards,

Ces photos sont merveilleux. Looking at the photo of the narrow, main street, I can smell the crepes suzettes and taste the omelettes of "La Mere Poularde" in my memory, even though it's been nearly 25 years since last visiting.

Your pictures of Mont St Michel are incredible. I also have some very nice pictures of it taken lastyear around the 15'th of may, what an amasing place. To anyone that has not been here i suggest you go, you will not regret it. Lastyear i went and toured england, germany and france, the bulk of the time was spent in france, but nothing was more beautiful then the north shores of france, we traveled from Dieppe accross to MSM and that was the highlight of the entire trip.

WOW! The photos are wonderful! I've read about Mont St-Michel, but after seeing the photos I just have to go there and see it for myself. Thanx for sharing such beautiful photos.

I am going to Mont Saint Michel in May (2005) and your photos have proven to me that it will probably be one of the best experiences I will ever have in this life. Thank you SO much for your wonderful work and for your generosity in sharing it with everyone.

It has been long years since I lived in Brittany. Mont St. Michel was magic then and is
an unforgettable memory now. Your photographs brought me back as I never thought anything could. Bless your talent.

This is a remarkable set of images. The artist's instinct for light and composition combine to give anyone who has visited this place a feel of being there again.

I wonder how long it took to come up with this set of pictures. Certainly it was not done in just one visit.

These are brilliant! I was fortunate enough to visit this magnificent wonder in April. Your photos remind me that a return trip is inevtable. Thanks for sharing them.

I have a request about using some photos of 'Le Mont St-Michel' from your gallery. I will be creating a web site for a neighborhood devlopment that will be called "Mont St. Michel". Pleas let me know if it is ok for me to use photos from your site on my web pasite. I do not mind adding a link to the site that will link to your web page if they would like to see more pictures.

WOW! I am going to Paris in early July. I WAS still considering between Mont St Michel & Versailles. There is no such decision after I see your pics! It's gorgeous! I must go there to have a real look!

Can you tell me the name of the hotel where you shot "A room with a View". Fabulous series of photos. Can't wait to see it for real.

Still brings back nostalgic memories, I remember a plaque being posted outside this castle right before you enter the village; which shows the year when it was built or when it was started, does anyone know it ...???

Merci Beaucoup pour le belle images! I visited France for a while last year, and I absolutely loved it. It truly changed my life, and I can't wait to go back. You really captured the beauty and mysteriousness of Mont St Michel, and how amazing it was there. Thank you for sharing that beauty on the internet. The pictures were amazing, so much better than mine turned out! Je suis enchante.

I visited le Mont Saint Michel in 1984-1985 when I was working in Bretagne...Carhaix-Plougher to be exact. I have always wanted to return because of places like this. Merci pour les tres belles photos. Mon copain est jaloux...il l'aime bien aussi.

hello, Great Pics and Great Effort.

And, some more comments: It would have been much more interesting if you have used any Human element in the pictures The Refectory & La Salle des Hôtes and It would also help you in showing the sense of scale.

Mont Saint Michel: It's a great picture again... if it's composition is not in the middle.

Anyways, great work.

Hello Francis Toussaint
First, you have beautiful photographs.
I have a request about using two photos of 'Le Mont St-Michel' from your gallery. It is for an article about the tide for educational science magazine for children in Israel. I am not sure it is the right forum for such request. Pleas let me know if it is, and if it is ok for use photos from your site. We'll print your credit according to your request.

Your pictures are quite breathtaking - thank you for creating such a magnificent website.

Great Gallery, Francis!

I just returned from my holidays and spent a few days in Bretagne. Also visited Mt St Michel, but did not even remotely match the quality of your images. Great work.

It is amazing. Thank you for this gallery. I want to go there. I've got something for you people. Mike Oldfield made song about this place and always when I am watching those pictures I am also listening that song and I am there. http://ozwolf.tripod.com/companion.htm

Beautiful photos! Tres jolie! I'll be visiting this place in September and very much look forward to seeing it for myself and maybe capturing a few images of my own. Was it the late Galen Rowell (sp?) who shot the timeless image of Mont St. Michel with the rainbow flowing into the building? It's one of those pictures that's etched into my brain forever.

Merci beaucoup!

Francis, I always enjoy your style of presenting a subject in a dramatic and compelling way. They are photos that touches the heart via our senses. Needless to say, your technical controls are near-perfect. It has been a pleasure viewing them.
